BengalBacker Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just a preseason opponent and not a big deal but I thought I'd pass it on. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/jets-players-brawl-during-training-181105303--nfl.html CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) -- About 20 [i][url="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/nyj"]New York Jets[/url][/i] players were involved in a sideline brawl during practice at training camp after running back [url="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/24087"]Joe McKnight[/url] and safety D'Anton Lynn tangled after a play. Lynn, son of Jets running backs coach Anthony Lynn, shoved McKnight out of bounds after a screen pass Monday. McKnight fired the football at Lynn - and the two got into it, with McKnight charging Lynn and throwing a punch. Players ran over and a pileup ensued, with players rolling through advertisement placards and into an area where reporters where standing - a few feet in front of a barricade where fans sit. Coach Rex Ryan, along with several players, ran over to break up the melee by pulling players off the pile. It lasted about a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatcat Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 One thing for sure this 1st preseason game. ESPN will be all over it with Tebow. They might even mention the Bengals as the opponent at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 [quote name='happyrid' timestamp='1344148378' post='1143398'] I guess this thread is as good as any for this... I was listening to an interview with the Steelers long-time beat writer, Jim Wexxel (or something like that) and he was saying it is far from a guarantee that David Decastro will be the opening day starter at one of the guard spots. Says he looks good on screens and out in space but that he is getting man handled by the Steelers D Lineman. Said he is under-sized compared to the Steelers other OGs who are better able to get push and also better able to hold up against the bull rush in pass protection. Found that pretty interesting and seems to back up what some of the scouting reports were saying about Decastro. Also, he mentioned that Mendenhall is probably going to miss the whole season and that the Steelers would likely move on without him. They really like Redman. He'd be coming off of an injury (though with 18 months to heal) in 2013, but he'd be an interesting FA option. I remember the Bengals liked him in the draft and those are often the types of guys we pursue.

scharm Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Glad to hear DeCastro struggling after the draft debates over Bengals passing him. He was a good guard that got overhyped into something he wasn't. There are guards like him every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
